    The scoop says Buddy expected to play against us in a farewell game. Let's make it one he wants to forget.

    Trying to make the connection between this thread and our last game. 
    Has Buddy come out of retirement already?

    You'd hate to be a pies defender. Mids do not win a contest, and they don't run defensively so you're always out of position with no support.

    Good play by George at Bunnings warehouse during the ad break then.

    Impact player.

    I never understand why some commentators refer to certain players by both names (Christian/surname), as if they have a hyphenated name. e.g. Isaac Smith ... there is only one Smith on the ground. Bobby Hill's another. Taylor Adams. And Hoskin Elliott ... oops, that is a hyphenated surname!! 

    It's usually players with surname-like Christian names, especially the Bulldogs' Baileys (x3) - Smith/Williams/Dale. A few others ... Touk Miller, Conor Nash, Zac Bailey (what is it about Bailey?), Dyson Heppell.

    I think I have too much time on my hands.

    Reckon Ollie Henry plays as a forward a lot like Tom Hawkins (albeit 20/30kg lighter) - might be the succession plan

    Surely after his last couple to forget against us he isn’t thinking about getting another bath from S. May as a farewell?

    The pies are in serious trouble. At this point you wonder if they'll win another game this season.

    Nah. That’s not accurate at all. 

    We face the same threat as other teams jostling for a final 8 position…

    and that is a show of brutality in a psychological edge as we enter September. 
     

    Moore, case-in-point.

    I'm torn.

    Cats to lose to increase likelihood of missing out on finals.

    Pies to lose to have 3 losses in a row and destroy all momentum going into finals.

    Also can't stand either team.

    Moore hamstring is huge. If bad enough, first game back could be first final. Risky.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
